Question

I am setting up a simple test page in Python. I only have two files: .htaccess and index.py. I get a 403 Forbidden error when trying to view the page – how can I fix this?

.htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
AddHandler application/x-httpd-cgi .py
DirectoryIndex index.py

index.py:

#!/usr/bin/python
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"
print "test"

What permissions have you set on index.py (e.g. what does ls -l index.py say, if in Linux or other Unix variants)?
